Carly has to be one of the most organised brides that I have met. When I arrived for her and Marks wedding, she was still organising things for the day and was loving it! Having been to over 50 dress shops, Carly eventually ended up with 2 fantastic wedding dresses. Oe for the day and one which was a surprise for everyone later in the evening. During the service, every best mans nightmare came true as one of them dropped the rings at the crucial moment. It was a great ice breaker though. After the dove release outside the church, Carly and Mark had some time together in the car journey to the hotel. On the way back to the hotel, I drove around the perimeter fence for Gatwick which gave me a great idea for a unique image later in the day (see below).

The Magician Mark Williams kept the guests amused throughout the drinks reception and after the wedding breakfast, the speeches were great. As is often the case at sunny weddings, the evening light was just beautiful. We took a few minutes to get a few extra portraits as well as the quick trip to Gatwick. The first dance was shortly followed by a game of Mr & Mrs which of course Carly won!

Here is just a selection form their wedding. Feel free to comment or share.

Saint Albans Cathedral Wedding Photography

Aureila and Tom have travelled extensively and brought a number of influences into their wedding. When I met the boys in the morning, they were preparing the venue which had a real outdoor party theme. The campfires were set up and plenty of bails of straw to sit on. Aurelia got ready at her parents amazing house which overlooks St Albans Cathedral. The house was full of activity including the string quartet practising in a room upstairs. St Albans Cathedral is simply massive. The ceremony was in the Lady Chapel which itself is bigger than most churches yet it sits just at the end of the cathedral itself. After the ceremony, The newlyweds hopped on a bike with Aurelia sitting side saddle and they made they way through the town. They actually continued the 3 miles to the reception!

In a break from traition, the wedding breakfast was catered by their favourite Indian restaurant. It was loved by all the guests. After the speeches, everyone enjoyed the fantastic sunset and when the fires were started, the marshmallows suddenly appeared. After the first dance, the whole wedding party came outside to be entertained by Toms brother and friends on their acoustic guitars. It was a lovely finish to their garden wedding.

Low Wood Bay Hotel wedding photographer

I first met Rachel and Andy at Mark and Minoris wedding which was almost a year ago to the day. It was fantastic to go to the Lake District for a wedding. Its a spectacular place and the entire wedding party were so welcoming. Both Andy and Rachel gave their wedding parties gifts. The boys received cufflinks made from watch parts and the girls got beautiful bracelets that matched the colours of the day. Andy also broke the rule and sent Rachel a letter and a beautiful watch which she opened just before going to the church. After the ceremony, their friends from the squash club organised a guard of honor as they went to their wedding car.

Low Wood Bay is in a stunning location right on the banks of Lake Windermere. The magician and caricaturist kept everyone entertained throughout the wedding breakfast. In the speeches, Rachel was formally welcomed into Andy’s family by receiving a personalised number plate. Something they all seem to have. Andy’s speech started with the heckle ‘stand up!’ He proceeded to deliver the rest of his speech standing on his chair. I think its fair to say he was emotional delivering his speech. It was then his brothers turn to co deliver the nest men speech which had everyone massively entertained.  After a short boat ride around the lake, it was first dance time. A nervous time for many couples but as Rachel is an ex professional dancer, I think Andy was under more pressure than most. The ensuing ceilidh kept the dance floor full all night.

Here is a selection of images from their wedding at Low Wood Hotel. Please comment or share.

Greyfriars Guildford Wedding Photographer

Greyfriars in Guildford is a lovely wedding venue. Its hard to believe that Barrie and his family live there as well as hosting weddings! It was the perfect place for for Sally and Malcolms wedding. They are a lovely couple and I love Malcolms sense of humour. Sally had the perfect dress for her day and her shoes were a real surprise. The day was really relaxed with everyone playing the giant garden games including some very competitive giant Jenga with games going on for what seemed like hours. Malcolm was quite nervous of his speech but he need not have worried it was funny and heartwarming. Baregroove provided the music in the evening. Louise, Matt and the rest of the band never fail to get the dance floor full from the very start.

Wedding Photographer Brighton – Engagement Photo Shoot

I met Rachel and Martin for their pre wedding shoot the day after their Hen and Stag weekends. They both seemed oddly fresh! They love brighton so we spent some time around the back streets as well as the pier. The wetaher gave us some real drama in the images and the graffiti was amazing. Their wedding is in July so look out for their blog then.

Please comment, share, etc.

Sue and Ansy are getting marrie dthis summer so we took the opportunity to return to where Andy proposed. Bucklers Hard is where a lot of Nelsons fleet was made and you can still see the dug out shapes by the water where they built the ships. It was great spending time with Andy and Sue and their son. I am really looking forward to their wedding in July. Here is a few images from the ir engagement photo shoot.
